The founder and only boss of the Medellín Cartel was Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria, a Colombian drug lord and narcoterrorist who lived from 1 December 1949 until 2 December 1993. Escobar, known as “the king of cocaine,” accumulated an estimated net worth of US$30 billion by the time of his death, which would be equivalent to $70 billion in 2022. In the 1980s and the early 1990s, his drug cartel controlled the majority of the cocaine traffic into the United States.
Where is Pablo Escobar’s money hidden?
Despite his best efforts, Escobar was unable to spend the whole amount of money, much of it was kept in fields and warehouses. His brother said that every year, 10%, or $2.1 billion, was lost due to being eaten by rats or destroyed by the environment. Sometimes it was just misplaced.
Other reports also have in their records that a nephew of the notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar claims to have discovered a secret plastic bag with $18 million (£14 million) in cash at one of his uncle’s homes. According to Nicolás Escobar, “a vision” showed him where to hunt for the money at his Medellín Colombia, residence.
